My fiancé and I stayed here on our engagement trip and it was absolutely wonderful! Amazing location near the park and beautiful stargazing. Brianna was a super helpful and friendly host that made our trip perfect!!

This was the perfect getaway. The host went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She was very helpful and responsive, she genuinely cared about our comfort. Everything inside was thoughtful and clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the sky roof above the bed was perfect. You fall asleep watching the stars. The unit is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Our stay was stress free and relaxing. Strongly recommend booking!

Great home base for exploring Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Brianna did a great job making me feel welcomed and setting up the space well despite being off grid - didn't feel like I was staying off grid at all.
Brianna is also super helpful with recommendations/advice regarding Big Bend - made my trip much more fun as a result. Would recommend to anyone looking for some peace and quiet out in the desert!

We had a wonderful time staying here. The surrounding area is beautiful and so serene. Brianna and her partner are wonderful hosts and had plenty of knowledge to share. Ending each night star gazing outside and watching the sky through the sunroof while in bed was a magical experience. Would definitely recommend!

We so enjoyed our stay in the Vega by Modern Nomads. I had been to Big Bend before and had camped. My wife is not a camper. This place is perfect for people who love the outdoors and want to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere without being in the middle of nowhere.
The container is beautiful on the inside and is situated in a great location. I have never "heard" quiet like that before. And the stars? So, so many!
The Vega has everything you need to "camp" without camping. Read the directions about power and water usage (it's the desert after all) and you will be super comfortable.
The remote control blackout curtains are a great touch, as well as the remote control skylight for star viewing. One of the nights got pretty cold while we were there and the heated mattress topper was wonderful.
Brianna was a wonderful and even told us about a great spot we could walk to for sunset viewing. We definitely plan to go back.

Stayed at this unit for our Honeymoon trip to Terlingua/Big Bend. Loved it! Located in a private area inside a ranch - away from the highway so perfect for stargazing. Brianna was a fantastic host - responsive, friendly, and made sure our honeymoon was extra special and memorable!

It was a great place to stay that's close to the park and Terlingua. It looks like the pictures and is perfect for a couple of nights! We really enjoyed sitting outside and using the fire pit. The first night we noticed we were low on propane, and the next day Brianna changed out the tank and made sure everything was hooked up. She even left us here stargazing chairs which were perfect for relaxing after a day in Big Bend.
In addition, she provided drinking water and a mattress heating pad.
It's a bit far off the main road (which makes it very peaceful), but the instructions were clear and we could easily find it in the daylight.
